No creature (human or animal) should be hurt for film's sake. If you can't get the 'realism" of the scene any other way, then you are lacking in both skill and creativity.

That said. I find the domesticaion of animals more upsetting than the consuming of animals. We have teeth designed for chewing (vegetation) grinding (nuts & seeds) and tearing (flesh). We are desigend to do this.

"Pets" are animals suffering the indignity of not being allowed to behave like animals.
